◉ Anna Yano

Born: October 31st, 1991
From: Kanagawa prefecture

With her cute smile and au naturel fashion, Anna Yano is known as a versatile artist and model who effortlessly pulls off any look from her signature kawaii style to lolita. Her fan base centers around girls in their teens and early twenties.

Anna released “Shape My Story” in August 2013, produced by kz (livetune), and was soon chosen to be featured as a vocalist on kz’s solo project “livetune” in 2014. This was quickly followed by the release of “All Over,” another livetune production. Both of the tracks were used as theme songs for popular anime series, garnering attention from existing fans and anime fans alike.

In 2014, she traveled to a total of six countries and seven cities in Europe and Asia, promoting Harajuku culture as an artist and model. Her first photo book “Yano Anna MADE IN HARAJUKU” was released in 2015, and still continues to draw attention.

The project was launched by ASOBISYSTEM, a prominent entertainment company based in Tokyo, to promote a wider range of Japanese pop culture on an even bigger, more global level.

In December 2014, ASOBISYSTEM launched “MOSHI MOSHI BOX,” the first tourist information center in Harajuku, Japan, as part of their MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON Project. MOSHI MOSHI BOX is located in the middle of Harajuku, the mecca of Japanese pop-culture, and is offering a number of useful services to tourists. The perks include tour guides and maps, free WiFi, recharging stations, shipping services and money exchange services. You can also enjoy famous Harajuku crepes and purchase Japanese “omiyage” while visiting the center.
